Tempting the Cowboy: A Paint River Ranch Book by Elizabeth Otto After taking a job on a quiet Montana dude ranch, ex-cop Rylan Frederickson finds herself surrounded by unbelievably sexy cowboys. Too bad the one she wants is her boss...and the single dad of a four-year-old. It doesn't matter anyway, because after a recent tragedy, there's simply no more room in her heart. Letting a new woman into their life is the last thing Cole Haywood wants for him and his daughter, Birdie. But as Rylan's presence at Paint River Ranch breathes new life into his family he can't ignore his growing attraction. When the sparks between them turn into fireworks in bed, Rylan's torn between the family she's lost and the one she may have found. Now she must decide if something that feels this good is worth the risk.

Tempting the Cowboy

An investigation of the irrational and the unconventional currents swirling behind the Bauhaus's signature sleek surfaces and austere structures. The Bauhaus (1919-1933) is widely regarded as the twentieth century's most influential art, architecture, and design school, celebrated as the archetypal movement of rational modernism and famous for bringing functional and elegant design to the masses. In Haunted Bauhaus, art historian Elizabeth Otto liberates Bauhaus history, uncovering a movement that is vastly more diverse and paradoxical than previously assumed. Otto traces the surprising trajectories of the school's engagement with occult spirituality, gender fluidity, queer identities, and radical politics. The Bauhaus, she shows us, is haunted by these untold stories. The Bauhaus is most often associated with a handful of famous artists, architects, and designers--notably Paul Klee, Walter Gropius, L szl Moholy-Nagy, and Marcel Breuer. Otto enlarges this narrow focus by reclaiming the historically marginalized lives and accomplishments of many of the more than 1,200 Bauhaus teachers and students (the so-called Bauh usler), arguing that they are central to our understanding of this movement. Otto reveals Bauhaus members' spiritual experimentation, expressed in double-exposed "spirit photographs" and enacted in breathing exercises and nude gymnastics; their explorations of the dark sides of masculinity and emerging female identities; the "queer hauntology" of certain Bauhaus works; and the role of radical politics on both the left and the right--during the school's Communist period, when some of the Bauh usler put their skills into the service of the revolution, and, later, into the service of the Nazis. With Haunted Bauhaus, Otto not only expands our knowledge of a foundational movement of modern art, architecture, and design, she also provides the first sustained investigation of the irrational and the unconventional currents swirling behind the Bauhaus's signature sleek surfaces and austere structures. This is a fresh, wild ride through the Bauhaus you thought you knew.

Occult Spirituality, Gender Fluidity, Queer Identities, and Radical Politics

Haunted Bauhaus

When a designer drug rocks the small town of New Brighton and makes junkies spontaneously combust, Paramedic Jayda Swenson suspects the worst. The super-methamphetamine her husband created before his death has resurfaced. She's worked hard to create a safe, tidy life and put her meth-ravaged past--and her secrets--behind her. But when tourists start disappearing and charred body remains crop up, Jayda learns the hard way that this drug doesn't just fry people's minds--it also fuels demons. Sexy new medic Ben Tierney is a demon-hunter in disguise, but his demon-busting powers don't work so well anymore...until he realizes Jayda's touch can refuel the energy he's lost--a touch she's not so willing to dish out. Now Jayda finds herself wedged between an ancient demon that knows her past and her secret, and Ben, who has plenty of secrets of his own. He's willing to help--for a price--but Jayda's not sure if it's a price she's willing to pay...

Patrick Rössler

A century after the Bauhaus's founding in 1919, this book reassesses it as more than a highly influential art, architecture, and design school. In myriad ways, emerging ideas about the body in relation to health, movement, gender, and sexuality were at the heart of art and life at the school. Bauhaus Bodies reassesses the work of both well-known Bauhaus members and those who have unjustifiably escaped scholarly scrutiny, its women in particular. In fourteen original, cutting-edge essays by established experts and emerging scholars, this book reveals how Bauhaus artists challenged traditional ideas about bodies and gender. Written to appeal to students, scholars, and the broad public, Bauhaus Bodies will be essential reading for anyone interested in modern art, architecture, design history, and gender studies; it will define conversations and debates during the 2019 centenary of the Bauhaus's founding and beyond.

Bauhaus Bodies

Nach einer persönlichen Tragödie nimmt die ehemalige Polizistin Rylan Frederickson einen Job auf einer Touristen-Ranch in Montana an und findet sich inmitten von sexy Cowboys wieder. Zu dumm nur, dass der Mann, zu dem sie sich hingezogen fühlt, ihr Boss ist... und allein-erziehender Vater einer vier Jahre alten Tochter. Aber das ist sowieso belanglos, denn in ihrem Herzen ist schlicht kein Platz. Wieder eine Frau in ihr Leben zu lassen, ist das Letzte, das sich Cole Haywood für sich und seine Tochter Birdie wünscht. Aber als die Anwesenheit von Rylan auf der Paint River Ranch seiner Familie neues Leben einhaucht, kann er die wachsende Anziehung nicht länger ignorieren. Als sich die Funken zwischen ihnen in ein Feuerwerk verwandeln, ist Rylan hin- und hergerissen zwischen der Familie, die sie verloren hat und der Familie, die sie möglicherweise gefunden hat. Jetzt muss sie entscheiden, ob etwas, das ich so gut anfühlt, das Risiko wert ist.
